Common use of Flexibility Agreement Clause in Contracts

Flexibility Agreement. To enter into a flexibility agreement you need to tell us in writing the details of the changes you are seeking and the reason for the change. When we receive your request we will meet with you to discuss your proposal, and give it consideration which may also include trial arrangements. We are committed to supporting flexible work arrangements and other than the most extraordinary circumstances, the only reasons we would be unable to meet your request would be: If we are unable to grant your request, we will meet with you to consider alternative arrangements and genuinely try to reach an agreement. We will provide you with the opportunity to consider and further discuss alternative arrangements that we may not have already considered. If we are unable to reach agreement we will then provide a comprehensive explanation in writing of the reasons why we cannot grant your request. This will include details of any changes in working arrangements that were agreed, or if no change is agreed, any alternative arrangements we can offer you. This will be signed off by your Director. Generally, flexibility agreements will be put in place for an agreed period of time and reviewed to ensure that they continue to effectively balance organisation objectives and the employee's work-life balance. Any individual agreement we make will be in writing and may be varied from time to time by agreement to suit yours or our needs.
